To all whom t may concern.

Be it known that I, Louis V. BARACH, a'

citizen of' the United States, residing at` Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny andv State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Game Appliances, of which the following is a specification. Y

This invention relates to improvements in game appliances, more particularly ten pins and bowling balls, and although the invention is primarily designed to provide an improved construction for ten pins and of which may be varied to give regulation weight to the appliance, and which includes an outer element of m'ore expensivemolded material of suitable configuration to provide an appliance of conventional form, under, such, conditions effecting a construction for the manufacture of highly efficient appliances at a minimum cost.

Further objects of the invention are to provide appliances of the character described, in a manner vas hereinafter set forth, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable and efficient in its use, attractive in appearance, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With Vthe foregoing vand other objects inl view, the invention'cons'ists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts herein speciically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawingsI wherein are shown embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understoodl that changes, variations, and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters denote corresponding arts Figure `1 isa vertical section view of a ten pin constructed in accordance with our invention. t

Figure 2`is a sectional view of a bowling ball, similarly' constructed. l

Referring in detail to the drawings, there i923. ,serian m. 639,431.-

is shown in Figure 2 a bowlingballconstructed in accordance with my invention,

of van inner sp erical ollow member'1 and an outer spherical` member 2.

The inner member is .preferably cona'ndfcomprisi'n a com osite body-consisting.

structed from aluminum, but may also ye made from any other suitable metallic material. Thev outer member 2 is preferably constructed from micarta, but may also be made from other suitable composition materials susceptible of being vmolded to the inner member 1 vandto the conguration desired and required.

Asvthe material used in the construction of the outer member 2 is very costly as compared with the material used `in the construction of the inner member 1, the former is made only 'of a'thicknessto give it Sullicient strength to withstand the severe service to ywhich it is necessarily subjected in use,

while the thickness of the latter may be varied to required. j

In the process of manufacture the micarta member 2 is xedly molded ,to the'inner metal member 1, and such combination of the two members 1 4and 2-provides a composite unit compatible with the convention give the ball the regulation weight of kindred appliances.

\ The periphery of the molded member 2 is formed with the usual suitably disposed finger holes 3, the Walls of which are preferably engrailed, as illustrated, tofacilitate the accurate manipulation of the ball by the player.

j The ten pin illustrated in Figure 1, of theJ drawings, is constructed in a manner identical to thatdescribed relative to the bowling ball hereinbefore, with the exception of its configuration which is of the conventional form of a ten pin.

The ten pin consists of a hollow inner metal section 4 completely enclosed by the outer section 5 which latter is constructed from any suitable composition material susceptible to being molded, preferably micarta.

The enlarged lower portion ofthe outer member 5 is formed with a peripheral recess 6, adapted forthe rece tion of a resilient collar (not shown) o rubber or its equivalent, which latter is provided for absorbing the shock when the ten pin is impacted by the bowling ball. The ten pin is romeiviei tile' usuel eieiowemne r i@ l maintain it in Uli Y the upright positionwhen set up."

roved construction of` game np lience is illustrated end described as e epted to bowling balls and ten pins, the-construction Imay be successfully embodied inthe manufacture of divers game appliances.v
